Surely, if they wanted to draw in more money from advertising, they could offer an alternative subscription free service (or maybe a reduced subscription offer) with unskippable ads. This would have the attraction of bringing on board excluded customers who cannot afford to pay current subscription prices and make more money for them. That would be acceptable. Putting on ads for a full subscription service would not be.
They may offer a choice, like YouTube ie free/reduced price with advertising & a higher price for an advert free service.

You should not be frustrated because the current position has been known for some time. Late November is likely to be the very earliest time that any more information will be released. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was no information until early January.
...just as everybody has spent up after the festive seasons.
